This market will resolve to "Yes" if Tesla publicly launches a self-driving taxi service in California by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Any taxi service available to the general public which operates without a human driver actively controlling the vehicle will count, regardless of membership or other financial restrictions. Services which are limited to Tesla employees or a limited test group without general access will not qualify. This market's resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.Tesla's regulatory hurdles in California create the slim 51% market-implied odds favoring "No" for a robotaxi launch by year-end. The company operates only supervised, human-driven services in the Bay Area under basic permits, with zero logged autonomous test miles and no applications yet submitted for the multi-step DMV or CPUC approvals required for unsupervised Full Self-Driving robotaxis. Stricter state rules contrast with faster Texas progress, while Cybercab production and EPA certification advance elsewhere without addressing California-specific data thresholds. Trader consensus reflects these persistent barriers and past timeline slips. Key swing factors include new permit filings, expedited regulatory reviews, or credible FSD capability demonstrations that could shift sentiment before December 31.
